This weekly class is designed to expose children to the basics of Classical Drawing and Painting. Running counter to the prevailing notion that kids should only express themselves in making art, our goal is to lay a solid foundation of classical understanding in a young child that can be built upon in later stages.

Students will engage in making art projects that demonstrate an understanding of these elements:
• Control of values and tone
• Composition
• Color interaction
• Proportion
• Introduction to perspective
Class size is limited to 12 students.

About the instructor:

A lifelong resident of Glen Cove, Julieann Smith began oil painting in 1983, studying under Richard Tyson and Charles Pasqualina at the Roslyn School of
Painting, where she also taught for 16 years.

She became involved with the Teaching Studios when she began studying figure drawing and painting with us in the summer of 2010.

Julieann’s paintings have been included in exhibitions on Long Island, in New York City and Connecticut. She had her first solo exhibit in Glen Cove, New York in 1998. Her paintings are also included in private collections on Long Island, in Colorado, Florida and California.
